Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Wolves
Monday’s encounter between West Ham and Wolverhampton will wrap up the action in Premier League round 15. The Hammers aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Arsenal and Leicester and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Edson Alvarez serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while there are no injury worries in the home team.
The Wolves, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a heavy 4-0 loss to Everton and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Monday’s encounter. In their last meeting in London West Ham defeat Wolverhampton 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Even though Nelson Semedo is back from suspension, the visitors do not stand a chance in this clash.
Highlighted Player (Hee-Chan Hwang):
Hwang Hee-Chan is a product of Pohang Steelers football academy. The Korean attacker, who was born in Chuncheon on January 26, 1996, started his senior career at FC Liefering of Austria and he scored 13 goals in 31 appearances for the club. The 177-cm tall striker currently plays for Red Bull Salzburg and you should bear in mind that he netted 12 goals for the club in the 2016/2017 season.
Hwang Hee-Chan won his second Austrian Bundesliga title with Salzburg in the 2016/2017 season, but the Red Bulls eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages. The Salzburg footballer made his South Korea debut in a 2-0 win over Canada on November 11, 2016.
Hee-Chan played regularly for the Korea national football team in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and he scored one goal in the process. The Koreans eventually booked their place at the showpiece tournament in Russia, meaning that the Salzburg attacker will have a chance to prove his worth on the big stage.
Highlighted Team (West Ham):
West Ham United are an English football club based in East London. The club was founded in 1895 and it has to be noted that the club’s name was Thames Ironworks back then. The Hammers were playing their home games at Upton Park from 1904 until 2016, when they moved to the Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
West Ham have won three FA Cup trophies (1964, 1975 and 1980) and they were runners-up in 1923 and 2006. The capital club finished the 1985/1986 England first division campaign in third place in the standings and that is the club’s highest placing in the top flight. West Ham United have strong rivalries with fellow London clubs, but Tottenham Hotspur are considered the club’s main rivals.
A number of top-class players were part of West Ham in the past and the likes of Joe Cole, Carlos Tevez, Paolo Di Canio, Paul Ince, Julian Dicks, Shaka Hislop, Michael Carrick and Slaven Bilic are some of them.
